Unknown Author

4.9/5 (12910 ratings)

Description:My dad had the Tom Stetson trilogy as a boy. I read them when I was a kid, and my son has read them as well. I am a cultural anthropologist, and I see now that these books were formative in the world view that led me to anthropology. That being said, these books are NOT anthropologically "correct," and indeed offensive in many ways. Nevertheless, a bright child with the proper cautionary guidance can work through the language ("savages"... "heathens"... "primitive"...etc.) and the subtexts (Kiplingesque "White Man's Burden" themes, naive modernization theory, etc.) to have a peek into a bygone era in a very compelling narrative. These books inspired me, and I thought they were hokey even as I read them, but they gave me a certain amount of cultural literacy, along with a burden of imperialist nostalgia that I easily learned to recognize and deconstruct. It makes for good conversations with my precocious 8 year old son. These are old school adventure pulp fiction books for kids, to be sure, but they are valuable as a time capsule and they have excited the imagination of young boys in my family for three generations.
